Share

I am 8wks and 1 day. Last week I could tell I was starting to show alittle stuff was getting kinda tight. This week I am amazed its like I have ballooned out. I went in for a wic appointment and the nurse said" you look like your ready to have that baby" I about died I said im only 8 wks. She said thats going to be one big baby. I didnt show till my 5-6 month with my first and still then not alot at all until my last month or so.

it's fun reading all your posts. I'm 8 weeks also with my 7th child, and feel huge as well. I can feel a large hard bubble nearly reaching my belly button, but with a chubby belly it's hidden mostly for now. :) I too have not been sleeping so well, and am having to wear looser clothes as they are not comfortable so tight. I"m just loving this baby though and so grateful for each day, despite the tiredness and nausea. The smell of sweet newborn babies. ooooh, gotta love em' !

I am 8 weeks pregnant with my fourth and Oh My Gosh Im huge!! With my first I didnt show until I was abut 6 months, my 2nd I showed around 4 months, my 3rd around 3 months, so I guess it makes sense. I heard that since your body has already been stretched it gets bigger q=quicker. And an FYI all my babies were under 7 pounds.

Glad I found this thread because I wasn't sure what was going on as I'm 8 wks and 3 days pregnant with a belly of 2nd trimester. Anyhow... I feel much better that I'm not the only one going through this. Congratulations to everyone~!!

I have always had a flat little tummy to be proud of but I am eight weeks into my first pregnancy and i feel so unattractive and fat. I have a stomach now that is in that awkward stage when people look at you and think. . y is she wearing such tight clothes with that pot belly? I can't wait to look like i'm pregnant rather than look like i cant control my eating.

This is my second child and I am 8 weeks also. I am not looking forward to the weight gain because with my first child I gained a total of 70+ pounds. To be honest I have not noticed alot of change in my size so far, but, in one area, my panties. Thay are a little snug these days.

I am also at eight weeks and am pregnant for the first time. I had to buy some new clothes yesterday because none of my bras fit and my stomach is also starting to stick out. I was really surprised because I thought it would take longer as well. I have gone from a 34 B to a 36C, which is already a little too small. I put on a shirt today that used to be loose on me and I couldn't wear it. I am glad to hear that I am not alone. I guess it really is difficult to say what is normal.

I am 8 weeks and currently am wearing my baggy regular pants bought before pregnancy... Ya know the kind you get to be loose when your really bloated. I've showed my folks, sis, hubby, son, ect. and there is a definite slope, but unless I expose my belly noonelse can even notice. I definitely do though. Anyway, I've already ordered maternity clothes and I'm not really concerned about looking big, but just trying to eat healthy and exercise since I already had a weight problem. I've already ordered my maternity clothes and am excited about wearing them oddly enough. In my pregnancy before withmy son I wore my regular clothes for a long time and put off wearing maternity clothes.I'm really embracing the whle enchilada this time. Don't get me wrong I was majorly excited about my son, but because my husband and I have decided this will be our 2nd and last born child I really want to enjoy it for all aspects. Anyway, wish I wasn't so moody and sleepy though.I had more energy in earlier one.

I'm also 8 weeks and will soon be 9 weeks and I got it even though I've lost a couple of pounds. I was a little confused but now I know that its normal and I dont feel wierd and big. Thank goodness there is this website.

Im 8 weeks with my first and my clothes are too tight, so I've been wearing maternity jeans, I don't care if people think I'm crazy for wearing them this early, since I don't really look pregnant but I don't care, I don't want to put pressure on my belly.
